Thunder Emperor

Chapter 157 Preparing to Open the Coffin

In the middle of the moon, Commander Hu probably had already determined the location of the tomb. He led the other three with flashlights and walked into a relatively spacious valley. He took out a compass and compared it for a while, then pointed A ground said: "This is here. Let's dig up the floating soil first. The fat man will go back and bring the vinegar we brought here. Yingzi will also go back and bring the bird, glutinous rice, crowbar and black donkey's hoof." .”

Hearing Commander Hu's order, Fatty Wang and Yingzi went back to get their things, while Liu Qiang started digging with him on the ground he just pointed out.In this deep mountain and old forest, the two of them took advantage of the moonlight and the light of the flashlight, and dug them very hard. After a while, a layer of soil that looked slightly reddish was identified by Commander Hu, and it was known that this was the tomb. Rammed earth on top.

Commander Hu evenly sprinkled the bucket of vinegar that Fatty Wang had brought over on the bare rammed earth surface, and waited for it to soak in, then continued to sprinkle it over and over again until all the vinegar he brought was used up.While a few people were waiting for the reaction between the vinegar and the rammed earth, the horse tethered outside the valley to carry supplies neighed miserably. Liu Qiang knew that the horse still hadn't escaped from the power of the giant ground otters living underground. claw.

Commander Hu and the others heard the screams of the horses, rushed to check and loaded all the rifles, ready to fire if they found the situation.In fact, it was such a coincidence that Fatty Wang and Yingzi still tied the horse to the side of the air vent covered by tall grass. The Mongolian pony, which hadn't died completely, was still shaking and twitching.

Commander Hu and Fatty Wang checked the surroundings of the horse corpse, and found the dark air vent under it. Fatty Wang planned to shoot two shots into it, but was stopped by Commander Hu and Liu Qiang. Hu Bayi thought that Even if you shoot it, you may not be able to kill it. If the beast that killed the horse is not kept intact, it will attract a counterattack after the beast went mad.

"The most important task now is to go to the grave. The folks in the village are still waiting for the good news of our victory. We can't delay important tasks because of these unclear injuries!" Fatty Wang heard Hu After the commander's impassioned and provocative speech, he happily let go of his thoughts and returned to the robbery cave with his rifle in his hand.

The rammed earth and the vinegar are just like what Commander Hu said, one thing yields another. At this time, the rammed earth soaked in vinegar is really easy to dig. After a while, they have already seen one side. Tomb wall made of blue bricks.This robbery hole was dug obliquely downward according to Commander Hu's plan, and hit the side wall of the tomb directly, away from the ceiling of the tomb which is closest to the ground. Liu Qiang knew that this was Commander Hu's intention to avoid it. The best anti-theft mechanism, Tianbao Fire Dragon Glazed Top.

The air in the tomb was cloudy and filthy. The four of them waited outside for about an hour before going down into the tomb one by one. Under the dim light of the flashlight, Liu Qiang saw an ear room decorated with exquisite murals. There are various utensils, and there are two lying on their backs in one corner of the wall, which have turned into dry bones and were buried in Zhejiang.

Fatty Wang rummaged around, muttering incessantly. After a while, he remembered that there was Liu Qiang, an antique dealer from the United States, beside him!So he hurriedly turned around and greeted Liu Qiang, who was admiring the murals with Commander Hu, to start the appraisal, so that he could pack it and ship it out.

In fact, Liu Qiang knows what is valuable!But it's better than these two masters who don't know anything!After searching around, I finally found a few pieces of cyan porcelain that looked complete and exquisite in a pile of dusty items on the ground, and a pair of fist-sized ones that were already covered in patina, which could not be seen. Patterned bronze cup.

When Fatty Wang saw the utensils Liu Qiang had selected, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "Brother Liu! What did you choose? It's not gold or silver, just a few broken porcelain jars and two rusty ones. Copper bumps, how much are these things worth?"

"Fatty! You can't be careful! Mr. Liu specializes in these things! The things he chooses must not be bad, but Qiangzi! You also told us how valuable these things are! Don't let them go! It’s a pity that we accidentally broke it again, isn’t it?” Commander Hu also came up to him, first he taught the dumb fat man a lesson, and then he curiously asked his own question.

Liu Qiang looked at the people squatting beside him, and said with a smile: "Just now we also saw that, judging from these murals, the owner of this tomb should be a general of the Liao Dynasty, and Liao people are not very good at firing porcelain. , and don’t use much porcelain, but there are a lot of porcelain buried here, what does that mean?”

"Explanation! These things are very valuable?" My fat man tentatively replied, but he didn't expect Liu Qiang to agree with him. "The fat man is right, these porcelains are very valuable! Because these porcelains are from the Northern Song or Southern Song Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom was at war with the Song Kingdom all the year round, forcing the Song Kingdom to pay tribute every year to repay the peace on the border, and a large number of tributes It is porcelain, and the king of the Liao Kingdom used these porcelains as rewards and distributed them to the generals who led troops to fight as rewards."

"However, these generals didn't like these things. Most of them were broken or given to slaves and servants, but many of them were brought into the tomb by them, so they were preserved. What you see now should be It’s Song Dynasty celadon! You must know that even in the current Palace Museum and those top museums abroad, Song Dynasty porcelain that can be preserved so well is rare, and the price is scary.”

"We found five pieces of Song Dynasty porcelain at one time. It can be said that we have had great luck. Even if these porcelains are not Song Dynasty official kiln porcelain, the price is still in the six figures. Do you think it is worth it? ?”

After listening to Liu Qiang's astonishing words, Fatty Wang began to count with his fingers: "one, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, I'll go to one hundred thousand! Brother Qiang, you didn't lie to the brothers, did you?"

"I'll have to go back and have a closer look at the details! But if it's porcelain from the Song Dynasty, I'm sure it's guaranteed! As for this even a bronze cup! I'm not sure, maybe it's not worth a few bucks! Maybe it's a national treasure. His precious treasures!" Hearing Liu Qiang's words, Commander Hu frowned slightly, and Liu Qiang also understood what he was worried about, so he said to him righteously: "I also know what you are worried about, Lao Hu? But don't worry, I am They will never be allowed to go abroad! This time I came back from the United States to develop domestically. I have never done the business of buying and selling national treasures abroad! I have done a lot of their good things abroad return."

Liu Qiang's words finally dispelled Commander Hu's scruples, and Fatty Wang, after getting Commander Hu's wink, began to carefully pack up the porcelain one by one with the torn newspapers and rotten sheets he brought down, and talked with Yingzi again. Cooperate to transport them out of the robbery cave.On the other hand, Liu Qiang and Hu Bayi walked into the opposite ear room with a flashlight to see if there was anything valuable.

After Fatty Wang and Yingzi transported the things out, Yingzi stayed on the ground to guard, also in order to be able to pick up the items to be transported later.Commander Hu and Liu Qiang rummaged in the ear room for a while, but found nothing of value, so they went out of the ear room to join Fatty Wang who had returned, and then walked towards the final main tomb.

In the main tomb, apart from a war horse that had turned into dry bones, a huge coffin was parked on a stone platform made of Qing stone, which looked a little inexplicably bleak. "This general is really poor! Except for a few porcelain pots, he doesn't even have a piece of gold. He looks like a cadre of the second-line army!"

"Don't talk nonsense! All the good things are in the coffin. Now let's get the equipment ready and start working after Liangzi!" Commander Hu stopped the fat man's mouth, took out a candle and walked towards the southeast corner of the tomb. Liu Qiang is well aware of the importance of opening coffins, and the virtue of buying things with Fatty Wang. This time, the candles are the large windproof candles that he specially sells in the real plane.

The bright yellow candlelight illuminated a corner of the tomb, and the light of three large flashlights illuminated the entire tomb. Liu Qiang and Commander Hu stuck the crowbar in the gap of the coffin lid, while Fatty Wang held the An automatic rifle with a flashlight attached, facing the corpse that is about to appear, ready to give him a handful of peanuts at any time!
